Could Growth In Mass In Lung Be Due To Exposition To Radiation?
I have pulmonary fibrous and had a angiogram march 2013 chest X-Ray ok considering .but I had to have another angiogram August.2013 and a mass 4-3.9cm showed up on X-ray. I figured I was more worried about heart attack and said I was seeing a lung doc..well I seen him April 2014 and X-Ray is showing a mass and they do a ct scan and now the mass is 2x the size it had been could this from being exposed to radiation so long? I was in there both times3-4 hrs?

hi
thanks for your query
once or twice exposure to radiation does not produces mass or tumor
by using an X ray you can not assess the exact dimension of the mass thats why your doctor advised you CT chest.
now your worry is matter of concern that mass is increasing very fast
i would advise you to consult your doctor and ask him for relevant investigation to confirm you a diagnosis of your ailment
hope this helps you
